Tomov and SABA's former head Peter Haralampiev are charged with corruption and malfeasance in office. According to the prosecuting magistracy, the two had taken bribes for issuing Bulgarian origin certificates to applicants for Bulgarian citizenship.

Tomov had failed to declare the money found in his safe deposit box, as stipulated by the counter-corruption legislation. He had only declared 25,350 leva in savings and 36,000 leva from wages. LI/MY
